EP New Day is a maybe. I'm usually not drawn to pastels but some of the papers are pretty.
Salutations No. 2 would be great for easy, pretty cards. I like it.
I'm sick to death of Disney collections in the usual red/black/yellow. I won't buy them anymore.

I like Salutations! The Disney one - I might get pieces of but not for scrapping Disney.
The Play All Day ones -I wish they weren't gendered. I don't see why they need to be.

Stop the world, I want to get off...I actually like an Easter line! Well, I don't hate it. It's not completely pastel and there's just enough black and brown to offset the rest.
As for the rest, I had to stop and look to make sure I didn't click the links for what was released last spring--the baby lines look very similar. I don't need any of the rest, but some of it is cute. I don't need Disney lines, but that is one of the better ones I've seen.

I like the Salutations. I liked the first one too. They are useful and great for cards! I will get some of that for sure.
I don't know why, but I like New Day. I think it's that touch of purple/lavender! It's kind of different and draws me in.
Don't have much use for the others, or much of an opinion. My nephew loves fire trucks, so that fire truck paper from Play All Day will make into my stash I'm sure. I like some of the other papers and stickers too for kids pages.

Maybe I'm just in a good mood? But I'm loving everything here. No, I don't need lots of the lines because my kids are grown past...but may still indulge in a few because I have certainly NOT scrapped all my photos from when they were young! And most of the lines have papers where I am thinking I NEED 1 or 2 of them...
The dancing girls...I need 5 of that specific paper!

The baby lines don’t impress me. Lots of the same formulas. I do like play all day, new day, and Easter. Between this release and the other one, I feel like a lot of color schemes are repeated, though.

I am totally on board with all of the tiny star prints on the b sides of the baby papers.
I don't mind a couple of the Disney papers, but as others have already said, enough with the colour combo.
None of the other collections excite me at all.

Time to end the heavily gendered collections. Really limiting and unimaginative.
Would love to see some Disney/Theme Park collections that are *not* Red/Black/Yellow/Aqua. Again, let’s move on…

I like New Day and Salutions. I will probably buy Salutations for making quick cards.
I agree with everyone who said the red/yellow/black combination is overdone for Magic (aka Disney). If he had used other colors, it would be more useful for other amusement parks.

Believe in Magic - I love! Will order it all  New Day I love but am not sure I'd use it as I don't have girls. It sure is pretty though! |

I’m really liking a lot of the b sides from these collections. I’m a dark fal color person so these dark greens and blues and yellows in the baby boy are perfect for me. I’ll probably grab a bunch of things but not a full collection. I also like the play all day boy line. I have five boys and it is so hard to find things that better suit them. The papers are really similar to a previous boy line but I’ll probably grab embellishments and b sides.

If he had used other colors, it would be more useful for other amusement parks. Not only is it overdone, it doesn't match either park!!! Drives me nuts. Who decided those were Disney colors in the first place? I mean I get that traditionally Mickey and Minnie wear red, but that is the only reason I can think of for all the red and it doesn't work for anything else. There is hardly any red anywhere in WDW or DL and that light blue doesn't really match the castles. Even if it did the red and yellow clashes so bad with the pale pink you can't use it for those pictures. It literally makes no sense collection after collection churns out those color schemes. |

I love the play all day boy collection. I have a baby boy (almost 1 year old), so I could get a lot out of that collection.

You could put that Magic line in a pile with all the other Disney lines from the last ten years and I wouldn’t be able to pick it out of the lot if my actual life depended on it.

I am not blown away by any of them which is a shame because Echo Park used to be one of my favourites, that isn't to say that they aren't nice collections because they are. Maybe it is just that I already own so much that looks like most of these lines somewhere in my stash.
I don't mind the Disney "believe in magic" collection because the B sides are so useable and the die cuts and stickers are mostly able to be used for other things apart from Disney.

I like the bright colors of the Play All Day Girl and there are some cute images on the baby girl line. I have been sorting my stuff and I really need to cut down on buying more paper unless it is something I just love.

I'd say same old, same old. Not a fan of the drawing/watercolor version of some papers, either.

EP It's A Boy - This is really pretty- I love the colors. I think they made another boy's line in this color scheme. I would definitely buy some of this line.
EP It's A Girl - I don't need any girl stuff but this is pretty. I really like the wildlife paper- I might get it and one other paper for the b-side to go with it.
EP My Favorite Spring- This is also really pretty.
EP My Favorite Easter- I kind of love this line. I don't have a lot of Easter photos (no new ones with covid) but I will probably buy some of this. Most of the Easter paper I own is kind of cutesy and I like this less cutesy, watercolor like style.
February
EP New Day - Nope. This is not attractive at all.
EP Play All Day - Girl - Again, no girls to scrap but I'm in love with that ballerina paper.
EP Play All Day - Boy - I have lots of little boy pages to scrap and this is just not appealing to me.
EP Our Little Princess - Ugh. So much ugh.
EP Salutations No. 2 - I don't make cards and the colors aren't doing it for me.
CB Believe in Magic (by stevenduncandesigner ) This is a waste of Steven Duncan. I love his style and this line just doesn't show it off. Also, enough with those Disney colors.
I am a big stencil fan and several of these lines have really good stencils.
I am so tired of these ultra gendered lines. I wish they would make kid lines, not boy and girl ones. My nephews were never into cars and only the little one is interested in sports. Why doesn't the girl line have sports and Lego? The whole thing is just so weird and off-putting. I guess overly gendered lines sell, or they wouldn't keep making them, but I just hate how they don't represent all kids' interests.

I love the color combo of It's a boy. I could use the non-themed sides. I want the blowing bubbles paper in the girl play all day line and the sport paper in the boy play all day line.
I haven't seen all the Disney World photos from my daughter's trip, but I think some B sides from Our Little Princess would work good for castle photos?
I really like the Disney line by Steve Duncan. I can see myself using a lot of this.
I like some things from the rest of the lines, but they aren't a must buy.

Thanks for your responses. Overall, I find an abundance of florals included in these upcoming collections which do not appeal to me. Of the classic patterned papers (e.g. dots, stripes, plaids) found on the reverse sides, versatile stencil designs (e.g. dots, stars), & label dies that I like, I already have the same or similar in my inventory. Sadly, the only item remotely of interest is the Perfect Day Plaid (from the New Day collection) due to the addition of purple to the muted pastel palette. |
